• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.

MINI QUICHE (ANY FLAVOR!)

Steps:

• I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin mini quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
• In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment- or simply using a whisk and mixing bowl- beat/whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together (on high speed if using a mixer) until completely combined, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate egg filling until step 6.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease two 24-count mini muffin pans. (Nonstick spray is best.) If you only have 1 mini muffin pan, bake these in batches. Roll out first pie dough, fill, and bake then roll out the 2nd pie dough, fill, and bake.
• Working with 1 chilled pie dough at a time, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll into a large 12-inch circle. Use your warm hands to mold any cracking edges back together as you see me doing in the video tutorial above. From the circle, cut rounds using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter. (Sometimes I use my 1/3 cup measuring cup, which is 2.5 inches in diameter.) You'll have to re-roll the dough scraps a few times. Work quickly, as the dough becomes much more delicate the longer it's at room temperature. You'll get about 24 rounds per pie crust. Repeat with 2nd chilled pie dough for a total of about 48.
• Place the dough rounds into greased 24-count mini muffin pan(s). Press the dough flat into the bottom of the crevice and up the sides.
• Evenly pour cold egg filling into each unbaked crust. Top evenly with add-ins, then sprinkle each with cheese.
• Bake mini quiches until the center is just about set and edges are lightly browned, about 25-28 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. If greased well, the mini quiches pop right out using a spoon to scoop them up. Serve warm or at room temperature
• Mini quiches make great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

MINI WHITEBAIT CRUSTLESS QUICHES

Steps:

• Saute the onion and oil over a low heat for 5 minutes or until soft. Put aside and leave to cool.

• In a bowl whisk the eggs. Add the salt, pepper, dill, thyme, milk, flour & parmesan and whisk until smooth.
• Stir in the whitebait and cooled onions.
• Spoon into the muffin tin.
• Place tin into preheated oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until set and a pale golden colour.
• Remove from oven and leave the quiches to cool in the tins for 15 minutes before removing otherwise they may break up as you try to get them out of the tin.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with a salad. If making mini-muffin sized quiches they are great served as a nibble with drinks.

• Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
• Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.

EASY CRUSTLESS QUICHE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 23cm round deep, springform cake tin so the paper comes 2-3cm up the sides of the tin.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and pancetta and cook over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent.
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil. If using broccoli, cut into small florets, if using asparagus, keep whole. Blanch the veg for 2 mins, drain and leave to steam-dry.
• Whisk the eggs, cream and two thirds of the cheese together in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix through the onion and bacon mixture. Pour into the tin and top with the veg and remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 mins or until golden brown with a slight wobble in the centre.
